Celebs Help

The pages in this collection document the many celebrities
I have discovered in researching my family tree.
They are all related to me -- some absurdly distantly.

This page documents the various accessability and navigation features of the
Celebs Collection.
Use your mouse cursor on the images below to explore the meanings
of the various areas of the Celebs pages.

Common features

These are features common to two or more kinds of pages.

AlphNavBar

Every page has an
Alphabetic Navigation Bar
at top and bottom.
Each letter is a link to an Alpha Index Page.

Associated

Cross reference to associated persons is made in a number of places,
always denoted by this symbol: ¤,
which is a link to that person in the Celebs collection.

Bookmarks

This is a structured collection of links to other pages on other sites.
I make an effort to check these periodically,
but it is unavoidable that some of them will have gone stale.

Images

Indices

Image forW.K. Kellogg

Occasional images are presented as thumbnails on a random basis from those available.
The thumbnail is presented in the right margin, with a green arrow
()
pointing to it.
A conscious effort has been made to seek out
uncommon images of unusual or revealing aspect.

Occasonally, thumbnails will overlap.
Your mouse cursor may be used to bring a partially overlapped thumbnail
to the fore.
Run your cursor over the associated name or the image.

Clicking the thumbnail will present a full-size view if available.
If your browser is capable,
a mouse rollover of the thumbnail image will present a full-size view as a pop-up.

Individual
Multiple images may be presented in the right margin, always full size.

Key symbols

These serve as a caption to an index list,
and define the meanings of the various symbols used in the index.

Numbering

The items on each index page are numbered in red.
These numbers are also an Easter Egg link to the source file on my PC.

Pink NavBar

This navigation aid appears on all pages that can be identified
with a particular family,
in the present context: Family indices and Individual pages.
The links on this NavBar will take you to other
pages in this family.

Reference number

These will always take you to the ODT page for that person.
As a reminder, the links are set with a background matching the ODT page.

Guide page

This page serves as the index page for the collection --
it is the page linked under the Indices: ... Celebs at the top of every page.

Common sources

This lists some common sources used throughout the collection.
They are referenced like this: OED.

News feed

An experimental RSS news feed is provided,
indicated by the conventional symbol
().
New and changed items are available here
to news readers such as Sage.

Recent Changes

Recent canges or additions are listed in this scrollable
Iframe area.
The names in the list are links to those parts of the collection.

The RootsWeb advertizing is unfortunately duplicated here.
It can't be helped.

Index pages

There are two kinds of index,
similar in format,
but with different domains.

Alpha indices

Family indices

Alpha Index Pages

Family list

Alpha Index pages have a list of Family Index pages
represented on the current page.

Family name

Each person listed on an Alpha Index has his associated family noted.
If that family has a Family Page,
the family name will be a highlighted link thereto,
e.g. (ALPIN)

Jump to

These are links to groups of index items on the page
beginning with particular two-letter combinations.
